The replacement? "Worker & Parasite," glorius peoples' cartoon!

Yeah, but so is 'capitalist paradise'... Both have their flaws. Makes you wonder if an earthly paradise does even exist.
But they have (still unfiltered) internet in Venezuela I guess, so all the comrades can just download it if they want to. Just as me actually, I just don't want to wait a few months till it get broadcasted here on Dutch television and I don't need the Dutch subtitles.
Ironically, they start in January or February with the new season here. On the end, they're just a week behind on the US... It's just on every week here.
And can someone please tell me how I got so off-topic? ;)

It's also a common name for the parts of Surfers Paradise inhabited by beach bums living off the dole...

Then what of "democracy"? Possibly the only single word that is an oxymoron.

I saw an oxymoron once. He welded his wristwatch to a boat trailer.
